Safety Tips ! Caution: A fully loaded enclosure is heavy. Reduce the weight of the enclosure by removing the drive carriers before installing the enclosure in the rack or tower. (You can also remove the two APCs to further reduce the weight, if required. See the Adaptec Storage Enclosure Installation and User’s Guide on the CD for instructions.) ! Caution: To prevent personal injury, have someone assist you during rack installation.
Installing into an Equipment Rack Begin the installation by removing the components from the packaging and placing them on an antistatic surface until you need them.
3 Secure the rear rails you selected to the rear supports of the equipment rack, using the supplied screws, as shown in the Figure in Step 1 on page 3. 4 Secure the front rails to the rear rails, as shown below. 5 Tighten all the screws before continuing. 6 With assistance from a second person, lift the Storage Enclosure and slide the rear of the enclosure onto the rails. Slide the enclosure all the way back until it rests completely on the rails, as shown in the Figure below.
7 Secure the front of the enclosure with one screw on each side, as shown in the next Figure. One screw per side The equipment rack installation is complete. Continue with Step 2: Installing the Drive Carriers on page 6. Installing into a Tower Assembly A tower assembly is also referred to as a deskside assembly or pedestal. ! Caution: Do not modify the tower assembly. The feet are designed to keep the tower from tipping over. Do not remove the acoustic foam inside the tower skin assembly.
3 Remove the tower’s front bezel, as shown below, saving the screws for use in Step 5. Step 3 Step 4 4 Turn the enclosure 90° so that the right hand rack mount ear and LEDs are on top, then slide the Storage Enclosure into the tower skin, as shown above. 5 Replace the front bezel, using the screws removed in Step 3. 6 Install the tower labels at the top and bottom of the tower. Align the holes in the top label with the LEDs on the enclosure. 7 Replace the drive carriers and APCs, if necessary.
2 With the cam lever of the drive slot fully open, slide the carrier into the slot until the lever starts to close. 3 Push the cam lever until it engages the latch on the left side of the carrier assembly and clicks into place. 4 Repeat for all drive carriers. Note: Either a drive carrier or a carrier blank must be installed in all the slots of the enclosure to maintain proper airflow and cooling. When all drive carriers are installed, continue with Step 5: Connecting Power Cords to the APC Modules.
